According to the Caucasian Knot, the saboteur was killed during special operation. During the arrest, he offered armed resistance and was killed by return fire. According to the State Security Service, the operation to arrest "a member of Georgian subversive group, who was in the territory of Abkhazia in order to commit the terrorist act" was held on August 13.

During the raid there also were detained three residents of the village of Primorsk - Gogita Butba, Paata Butba and Guram Butba. They are suspected of having links with the Georgian special services.

As recalled by the Rosbalt, the Abkhaz authorities have repeatedly accused Georgia of sending saboteur groups attacking representatives of the Abkhaz law enforcement agencies. In particular, Abkhazian side has laid the blame for the murder of police officers, committed a few months ago in a cafe "Cinderella" in the city of Gali, on the Georgian special services.

Tbilisi, in turn, has claimed that Abkhazia had been sending the terrorists for carrying out the bombings on the territory of Georgia.
